We are a weekly Television program dedicated to entertaining and educating our audience by way of a comedic style presentation of vehicles, reviewing and informing the viewer not only the technical aspects of the showcased vehicle, but also present real world scenarios via sketches, creative challenges and tests for the plethora of uses of the same.
